What is your game language? EnglishWhile playing the "Be A Pro" mode, i have had 2 challenges which i completed, but where the game said i failed after the game. The first one was a teammate challenge where i should put up 2 hits during next game. I managed to do 5, however it still said i failed when having the next conversation. The second one was a media challenge of putting up 2 points in the next game. I did 6 (4 goals, 2 assist), but again it said i failed after the game.

I've run across a couple of these issues myself on the Xbox platform. One was achieve an A rating for offense (Got an A+). The other was protect the lead (was a shutout and our team scored one goal in the mean time).

The amount of bugs in this game is making me regret buying it. Especially since all of these things were working in NHL 20.

I've been having the same issues on Xbox One. Although I had a bug with an "assist" challenge, and a "get an A rating" challenge.

Same contracts as nhl20, same draft class, WAY more bugs.

PS4 Crash Reporting: Please copy the text you put in the crash report here. EASHL issues? Please insert your Club Region. What is your game language? EnglishSo there’s obviously many bugs and missing features.I’m in my second season as a backup goalie for the ducks. But all my coach interviews and press interviews etc are still talking as if it’s my first season. It says I have no wins in the nhl in the milestone tracker, but I’ve got 15 wins.They are also still talking about the Calder? I’m not a rookie anymore. I’ve got 40 games played.Also the coach challenges are bugged. Such as win 2 games out of 4. I play 2 games, one loss and one win, and it says I’ve failed yet I’ve only played two.Also where the hell is the jr season before the entry draft? On a different file, I got drafted 1st overall by playing as a defenseman in Europe, with 4GP, 2G 2A. I really wish I could get a refund for this game. why am I not sent down to the Ahl/back to juniors (if there even was the juniors in this game) when I play poorly? I’m a 76 goalie stealing the starter job from John Gibson on the ducks, even though I’m sub.900 25gp, and consistently doing bad? Where is the sense of challenge, the sense of accomplishment by trying hard in the juniors, to get drafted?

Kicked the hell out of the Flyers 4-1 in a game with a media challenge issued, requiring we win the game.
Game thought we lost. WTF.
Sloppy bugs. Ruining the gaming experience.
Extra pathetic given this isn't a new game from scratch. You should just be improving the same game year after year. How do you mess this up on so many levels--even the most basic stuff!

the convo challenges from media, coaches, teammates etc, are all a crap shoot. You can meet the criteria, and you’ve got a 50/50 of it giving it to you or not, regardless if you fail or succeed. It sucks. It’s one of the numerous bugs that plague BAP, and FM. So many game breaking bugs

What happens when the bug occurs? You fail the task even though you completed it successfully.
What do you expect to see? Failure to only occur when you actually fail not when you succeed!

Please see images of how rediculous this is, it happens with every task from him, makes it pointless to attempt any.

Did you take a picture of the record book to see what the current record was?

I also am a backup for the ducks and am in the same boat I’m getting better but it’s crazy how I was not sent down right away I was drafted 160 and made the squad right out of training camp, maybe I have potential. I actually just got my first start as number one goalie haha

Been backup for the Leafs 3 years, every year "the rookie". Took a contract with the oilers with overall 92. in my 5th year (overall 97) i won the calder trophy. now i am not a rookie anymore. New contract with the kings, still backup behind an overall 81 goalie... 😢😢😢

@bladablitz Not sure if this relates to you but I created a Goalie in Be. Pro. I had a good first year (NYR) with Igor Shesterkin missing most of the season with injury. My second year I went with to 86 OVR. My second year I appeared in 48 games and had a 36-12 record with a .222 GAA and won the Vezina. Currently in my third year and went up to 93 OVR. I also asked for a trade when I was not starting even though I was a higher OVR. Now I'm the starter for the Leafs. Maybe I'll bring home The Cup for them for the first time in like 100 years. 😂

@Lbomb88 It's impossible for you to get sent down. The worst you can be is the backup goalie. Even being drafted at 160 overall means nothing really. Your potential is still high, no matter how poor you play.

@mexsan I've played 19 seasons now and there's been a lot of these failed challenges even when I have completed them. These challenges, the conversations overall make no sense, especially after your first season. 20th season going and they still keep asking if I think I can win the Calder. And I was excited about this feature during the first season... After that it just started to annoy me and I wish I could turn it off.
